Salmon with Garlic Butternut Squash Sauce

So this is really a semi-homemade dinner, but I had to share for a few reasons. One, I liked it a lot. Two, my 6 year old daughter liked it so much she wanted me to make more for her LUNCHBOX (which I didn't actually do because I wasn't sure how to keep that warm). Three, it's so easy.

Anyways, I got creative one weeknight when I knew we were having salmon for dinner but needed to keep my time in the kitchen at a minimum and yet still have a delicious dinner that kept everyone happy. The butternut squash pasta sauce contains roasted red peppers, garlic and onions, and makes for a very tasty flavor! This is what I did:

Salmon with Garlic Butternut Squash Sauce

3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 (8oz) salmon fillets
1/2 cup Dave's Gourmet Butternut Squash Pasta Sauce1/2 cup organic chicken brothSaute the garlic in the oil on medium-high heat, until it just starts to turn color. Add the salmon filets, top down and cook for 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for 3 minutes. Gently stir in the sauce and broth and warm through. It is ready to serve when your sauce is warm and your salmon is cooked to preference.
